(NEWS CENTER) -- In what has to be a record for the current members of the legislature, both the House and Senate voted on and sent to governor -- and he signed -- a bill to temporarily block any person or entity from getting their hands on the names of people in Maine who have permits to carry a concealed weapon.

  It all happened in a matter of hours.

  We talk with NEWS CENTER analysts Phil Harriman and Ethan Strimling about the politics involved and why this vote happened as quickly as it did.
